LADY HUNLoke.

Jan. 22. In Saville-row, the Dowager Lady Hunloke.-Lady Hunloke was the sister of Mr. Coke of Holkham, and the relict of Sir Henry Hunloke, an ancient baronet, and connected by blood and alliance with many noble houses; but those adventitious circumstances were forgotten in the influence of her personal character. With all the lighter accomplishments of her sex and station, she combined powers of mind that wanted, perhaps, but the stimulus they might have had in a less elevated rank, to produce permanent memorials of their existence. She was acquainted with the Latin classics, and had a facile possession of all the polite languages of Europe, and there were few subjects which her active intelligence did not embrace. ---Such endowments were unalloyed by any tincture of pedantry, and the playfulness of her imagination was the delight and charm of society. Possessing the most diffusive urbanity, and the kindest disposition, her influence was very considerable; and a return home at all times to her residence (at Wingerworth) after any absence, was hailed with joy and congratulation. If a schism in the neighbourhood, or a family quarrel, existed, she was sure to be called on as the arbitress, and was generally successful. The late Duke of Devonshire has often been heard to remark, that his parties at Chatsworth and London were always deficient, if Lady Hunloke was absent. Malice never had access to her bosom, nor ever painted for her any of those flashes of intelligence and wit which raised her conversation above the ordinary level. The claims of benevolence never sought her in vain. In the domestic charities her life was happy, and their blessings cheered her parting hour.

The remains of this amiable and excellent lady have been interred at the family vault, Wingerworth, in Derbyshire.

REV. DR. LINDSAY.

Feb. 14. In his 67th year, the Rev. James Lindsay, D. D. of Grove Hall, Bow, Middlesex, upwards of 35 years Minister of the Presbyterian Meeting, Monkwell-street. He had, with other Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the three denominations, assembled at Dr. Williams's Library, in Red Cross-street, with a view of considering the projected Bill of Mr. Brougham on the subject of Education. Several Ministers had expressed their sentiments, and among the rest Dr. Lindsay. A friendly conversation having been finished, the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Morgan, was proceeding to read to the meeting a series of Resolutions, when the attention of the company was arrested by an appearance of severe indisposition in Dr. Lindsay: he fell insensible into the arms of those around him. Medical aid was instantly called in; but it was too late, the spirit had filed to God who gave it. The whole company was too much affected by this awful stroke to proceed with business. The Rev. Dr. Waugh, attended by a large company of Ministers, offered an appropriate prayer. The Ministers departed deeply impressed with this powerful admonition on the uncertainty of life, and the necessity of being always ready for the stroke of death.

Dr. Lindsay was a native of Scotland, and was educated at Aberdeen. He succeeded the celebrated Dr. James Fordyce, about the year 1782, as Pastor of the congregation at Monkwell-street; in which Chapel he preached a Sermon on occasion of Dr. Fordyce's death, in 1796, which was printed (see vol. LXVII. p. 410). He also published "A Sermon on the Influence of Religious Knowledge, as tending to produce a gradual Improvement in the social state, preached at Monkwell-street," 8vo. 1813; and "A Sermon at Salters' Hall Meeting House, on the death of the Rev. Hugh Worthington," 8vo. 1813 (LXXXIII, ii. 455.)-An elegant and most impressive Funeral Sermon was preached, on occasion of Dr. Lindsay's death, the 25th inst. by Dr. Rees, at Monkwell-streetChapel.

ADAM WALKER, Esq.

Feb. 11. At Richmond, aged 90, Mr. Adam Walker, the celebrated Lecturer on Natural and Experimental Philosophy.

Mr. Walker was born on the banks of Windermere, in the county of Westmorland. His father employed a few hands in the woollen manufacture: and having a large family, he took his son from

school

He also

school before the boy could read a chap ter in the bible. The mechanical turn of the youth was not however to be smothered by hard labour. He copied corn-mills, paper-mills, and fulling-mills, the models of which were constructed on a brook near his father's dwelling, to the surprise of passengers. borrowed books, and built a house for himself in a bush to read without interruption on Sundays. Thus he went on with such success, that a person, who discovered his extraordinary talents, offered him the ushership of Ledsham School, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Here he began his career of teaching when he was no more than fifteen years of age, and had frequently to study over night what he had to impart to his pupils the next morning. After continuing three years in that situation, he was chosen writing-master and accomptant to the free-school at Macclesfield, where he resided four years, and perfected himself in mathematics by bis own application. At this place he embarked in trade, but failing in his business, he resolved to turn hermit in one of the islands on the lake of Windermere, from which romantic scheme he was diverted by the ridicule of bis friends. His next enterprize was that of lecturing on astronomy at Manchester, where he met with a very favourable reception, which enabled him to establish an extensive seminary. This however he relinquished for the purpose of travelling as a lecturer in natural philosophy; and after visiting most of the great towns in the three kingdoms, he visited Dr. Priestley, by whose recommendation he undertook to lecture in the Haymarket in 1778. The encouragement which be experienced in the metropolis induced him to take a house in George-street, Hanover-square, where he read lectures every winter to numerous audiences. He was also engaged by Dr. Barnard, provost of Eton College, to lecture in that seminary: which example was followed by Westminster, Winchester, and other great schools. Among the variety of inventions with which Mr. Walker has amused himself, may be mentioned various engines for raising water; three methods by which ships may be easily pumped at sea; carriages to go by wind and steam; the patent empyreal air stove; the patent celestina harpsichord; the Eidouranion, or transparent orrery; the rotatory lights on the island of Scilly; a boat that works against the stream; another that clears the bottom of rivers by the stream or tide; a weather guage which, united to a clock,

shows the quantity of rain, the direction and strength of the wind, the height of the barometer, the heat and moisture of the air; an easy method of turning a river into a wet dock; a road-mill; a machine for watering land; a dibblingplough, &c. &c. The literary performances of Mr. Walker are: "Analysis of Lectures on experimental Philosophy," 8vo. ; 66 Philosophical Estimate of the Causes, Effects, and Cure of Unwholesome Air in Cities," 8vo.; "On the Causes and Cure of Smoky Chimnies," 8vo. ; "Ideas suggested in an Excursion through Flanders, Germany, Italy, and France," 8vo. 1791; "Remarks made in a Tour to the Lakes of Westmoreland and Cumberland, in the Summer of 1791, to which is annexed a Sketch of the Police, Religion, Arts, and Agriculture of France, made in an excursion to Paris in 1785," 8vo. 1792; "A System of Familiar Philosophy, in Lectures," 4to. 1799; "A Treatise on Geography and the Use of the Globes," 12mo. Some interesting Memoirs of the Family of Hogarth were communicated by Mr. Walker to Mr. Nichols in 1782. He has also inserted many pieces in prose and verse in various Magazines; and some articles in the Philosophical Transactions, and Young's Annals of Agriculture.

MILES MONKHOUSE, ESQ.

Jan. 20. At Funtington, in Sussex (the residence of his brother-in-law, H. J. Hounsom, Esq.), Miles Monkhouse, Esq. of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the 57th year of his age. It is not with the ordinary feelings of regret that we announce the death of a man so estimable in every point of view. As a British merchant, he reflected credit on that respectable character, by honour and integrity. A firm friend to the Constitution of his country, he was ever foremost in measures that had for their object his country's weal. When the revolutionary storm burst forth with such tremendous effect in a neighbouring land-and when men's minds wavered- Mr. M. was one of the most active of the patriot band in Newcastle that formed that protecting force (to which England ultimately owed her safety!), the armed volunteers; and for many years he bore the command of one of the four companies which composed the corps of Newcastle Loyal Volonteers. Mr. M. subsequently commanded a troop of cavalry (the provisional) raised for local defence, by Act of Parliament, in Newcastle. In public business of all sorts, Mr. Monkhouse
